We are learning about the basics of good, healthy eating and the new food pyramid this month. Proper nutrition is an important part of keeping us happy and healthy. When we eat right, we feel better! A fabulous tool in helping us make good choices with what we eat is the food pyramid. There are 5 main categories of the food pyramid- grains, vegetables, fruits, milk, and meat/beans. These foods help us in different ways and that is why it is important that we eat a well-balanced diet. It is important that we eat smart so we can live a happier life. Plus, if you eat right, you will do better at school! That is incredible!

Listen to the 5-a-day.mp3!
